Individual User Folder access

by eporteni . Updated 22 years, 6 months ago

Okay, see if you can follow this. I have agroup of users set up, called “students.” These students have access to user folders on the server (win2k) in a directory called “users.” In this “Users” folder they each have individual folders. The permissions on the “users” folder is set to “list folder contents” because I don’t want one student to be able to open what is in another student’s folder. They can see it, sure, but not open it. The problem is, is that one the individual folders within the user folder, the permissions have been propegated down, and individual students can access their own directorys, but cannot save or open anything in the folder. I am looking for a way to set individual permissions (user-a has full access to user-a’s folder, etc.) on the folders without having to go into the security of EACH folder and go through the ACL to find the user, add him to the list, set the permissions, and so on and so forth. I have over 600 users in this directory, and I NEED to get these permissions set so that students cannot access each other’s folders. Does anyone know of any easy way to automate or set the permissions on the folders for individual users only? Any help is greatly appreciated!
